Ollie’s sustainability priorities fall into two main categories: Responsible Sourcing, which encompasses growing practices and carbon footprint, and Better Materials, which includes smarter packaging and waste reduction efforts.
Responsible Sourcing
We established our own evaluation process to ensure a thoughtful, comprehensive approach that pushes for progress over perfection.
The majority of Ollie’s environmental footprint comes from the ingredients in our recipes. This is because growing and processing food and raw ingredients typically release more greenhouse gases (GHG) than other aspects of a food business. In addition, growing food requires water and chemicals, and different farming practices will have different impacts on animal wellbeing, human and soil health, biodiversity, and water and air quality.
To begin to address our footprint, we launched our first certified sustainable protein in 2024: our MSC-certified and wild-caught Salmon and Coconut Jerky Strips.
In 2025, we established an impact-focused evaluation process for ingredient sourcing. As part of this approach, we have begun to prioritize ingredients that are:
Responsibly sourced and grown using regenerative or sustainable practices
Screened for potential environmental and processing contaminants
Not contributing to deforestation
Greenhouse Gas Footprint
In 2024, Ollie conducted a comprehensive GHG assessment, which included Scope 1-3 emissions. We’re committed to conducting an annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, which will enable us to set GHG reduction goals over time.
In 2025, we began to use HowGood’s Latis platform to see the potential GHG emissions and other environmental impacts of ingredients and recipes. Using this tool will help our team prioritize which ingredients we’ll move from conventional to more sustainable sources.
We’re excited to introduce more sustainable ingredients and recipes soon, so stay tuned!
Reduce First
In 2025, we conducted our first comprehensive materials audit to understand everything that we buy, use, and ship, so that we can set a progressive plan to reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover materials. We’re working with our vendors to use less material in shipping to our Fulfillment Centers, and to establish waste reduction goals in our operations.
Keep an eye on this page for updates on our waste reduction journey.
Recycling
We disclose the exact material types on our packaging and website, along with specific instructions on how to dispose of them after use. This transparency is straightforward and part of a concerted effort to reduce consumer confusion and "wishcycling.”
